About this app
We provide free walking tours of USA cities using google maps. Currently we are offering tours in Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Princeton. We will be adding more cities in the future.
Our app organizes our tours by city. We provide a descriptive summary and list of locations on the tour as well as an estimated walking time and distance. After tapping “start tour” a google map will open up within the app showing the overall path and stops. Zoom in and start at the red arrow to start the tour, but feel free to jump around to any location. Zoom back out at any time to see one’s overall placement.
Descriptions of each location can be found by tapping on our green icon for that stop. We have also identified public accessible restrooms throughout most of our tours.
If you want to see our tours before downloading the app, they are all available on freewalkingtourspresents.com, but when taking the tour it is easiest to use the map via our app.
